Slow-Cooker Chicken & Wild Rice Soup recipe

Make cooking dinner as easy as possible with this Slow-Cooker Chicken & Wild Rice Soup! This lighter version isn’t thickened with flour and doesn’t use cream, but it’s still plenty satisfying. Chicken breasts, veggies, chicken stock (homemade or store-bought), dried herbs, and a handful of wild rice blend are all cooked together in your crockpot. The soup is low in fat, so I like to add in a few pats of butter for another level of flavor.

This simple recipe delivers classic chicken soup flavor and comes together without fuss. Prep the veggies, then place them in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add in the chicken breasts, herbs, chicken stock, rice, salt and black pepper. Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 4 hours. Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the soup and use two forks to shred it. Return the chicken to the soup. Add fresh chopped herbs for extra flavor if you wish. Serve and enjoy!
